As one of the providers of the film and a high school student in Kokomo when they filmed this.... 1) Kokomo natives see this more as a comedy than anything else. 2) During the downtown chase when Brian asks, "Is that the school?" That's the Howard County Courthouse which wa b*mbed about a year after filming. 3) The junkyard was an old steel mill that was scheduled for demolition. The movie people decorated it like a junkyard. 4) The school was my old elementary school, Ervin Elementary, which was scheduled for demolition. 5) No one has ever understood the short bus.

He starred in the classic 60s western series "The Rifleman" 1958-63 and "Branded" 1965-66 as well as the cult horror series "Werewolf" 1987-88. He also appeared in many films including Disney's "Old Yeller" 1957, "The Big Country" 1958, "Soylent Green" 1973, and cult favorite horror "Tourist Trap" 1979. His career spanned 40 years...1952 - 1992.

It hurts a little that you didn't recognize Connors. He was the Man! Fun Fact: The Rifleman was one of the few American shows allowed in the USSR because it was leader Brezhnev's favorite show. They met in the early 70's through President Nixon (Connors was a very active Republican and was close friends with Reagan) and Brezhnev actually jumped into Connors's arms as a joke. Connors later gifted Brezhnev a pair of Colt revolvers. Fun Fact 2: In the early 90s Connors met and hung out with artist Graham Nolan, co-creator of Batman villain Bane, at a Comic convention. They got along really well because Nolan is also a Republican and Chuck was getting crap from people for being a conservative. Nolan was able to get his Winchester rifle into the convention center because it wasn't loaded (times have changed, but it was odd even then) and had it signed by Connors, who was shocked because he had only signed toys before. Chuck was known for using a Winchester in the Rifleman that had a big looped lever action that he would cock one-handed by dropping it down and flipping it back up. Arnold in T2 used a Winchester lever-action shotgun with the same type of loop as an homage.

That car chase was like the super-deluxe extended version of some late '70s cop show. It just kept going and going and going!

"Did the sheriff just run over the body?!" Hey, Uncle Dale was already dead, it's fine. Plus all the cops in that town were probably dead too by the end of that car chase, so they had bigger things to worry about than an almost retired sheriff with very poor vision. And that one dude with the rocket launcher was clearly using the infinite ammo cheat throughout. This movie is just absolutely insane in all honesty. xD P.S 7:14 for vehicular manslaughter from Chuck.

I think the bus switcheroo happened because whoever they got the full sized bus from was like "You are not blowing up one of our full sized buses." and gave them the short bus.

Explains a lot of their "quirky" behavior at school.

Chuck Conners was the star of the tv show "The Rifleman". Put him on a horse and he would not have run over Dale in the street. Chuck was also a professional baseball and basketball star player back in the day.

Did the script call for a nuclear plant, but they never found a location to film in. So they just extended the chase scene to fill the time. Chuck: Ok, let's get on with the next scene Director: Get back in that car Chuck! We need a lot more chase footage! Chuck: Fine! You want me back in the car?! I won't leave it for the rest of the movie! Thus, movie gold is made.

The movie took the short bus right into our hearts.

I love a movie that makes Invasion USA look grounded and realistic. Maybe there is a deleted scene somewhere that talks about the great Indiana bullet shortage of the 1980s or that all the police officers got smallpox and had to be replaced by whoever was in the lobby of the unemployment office at the time.
